Default Re: Euthanasia - your thoughts?

I'm for it. I think there's certain situations where it's warranted, but the difficulty is those situations are different for different people.

My nurse partner is very much against it, although she admits she's probably been the one to give the dose that pushed someone over the edge on a few occasions.

My favourite author wrote this article on why he was for assisted death.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/...icide-tribunal

Unfortunately he has since passed away, surrounded by his family at home. I still don't know if it was assisted or it was just time.

I think it's important that it's a decision made by the person, when they can make that decision. Like many others, my grandmother slowly became not herself over the years. Some days she didn't know who I was, some days she did, or she thought I was my brother.

But she never did express a wish to end things, and fought the whole way. I think both options are acceptable.
